"No One Is!" Leftists and Their Calculated Lies Intended to Pacify the Bitter Clingers

The quickest way to find out what liberals have next on their to-do list is usually to pay close attention to what they tell you that they most certainly don’t want to do, and to what they assure you no one is actually proposing

Normally, you don’t have to look very far to find someone who is proposing, or has proposed, what liberals tell you cannot and never will happen. MSNBC’s Alex Wagner, for example, has assured the public that the second amendment is safe. “No one, anywhere, is talking about doing away with the second amendment, and no one, anywhere, is advocating stripping away gun ownership.”

So quit being hysterical, conservatives. Commentators generally don’t openly advocate for the repeal of the second amendment because that makes it sound as if they oppose fundamental rights spelled out explicitly in the Constitution. What they advocate is violating those rights while pretending that they are not. Rather than repealing the amendment, they just ignore the spirit and the letter thereof.

So her assurances that “no one, anywhere” wants to take our guns was a calculated lie intended to pacify the bitter clingers. Why must liberals always employ this form of subterfuge? The answer is that whenever they tell us where this train is heading, people invariably demand to get off. So it’s in their best interest to keep mum and to name-call anyone who has enough prescience to see further down the tracks.

They call us paranoid, they call us wingnuts, they call us racists.

But we’re right.

Read the whole thing, especially the second illustration, in which Benny Huang discusses Sharia law and how we are all
to "Rest assured though, [that] no one—and I mean no one—actually wants to bring Sharia to America."

These are but two examples. They told you, of course, that Obamacare would not cover abortions because it was not specifically provided for in the bill, and yet they adamantly refused to include a provision that would have explicitly forbade it. “No one” was suggesting that government fund abortion and yet that is exactly what happened. “No one” was suggesting that anti-bullying laws be used to censor speech that homosexuals find offensive, and yet it’s happening. “No one” is suggesting giving illegal aliens welfare and yet they keep getting it.

My advice to conservatives is to keep up your guard. You’re going to be called a nut for sounding the alarm bells. But you’re not a nut. You just have enough foresight to see the endgame that they so desperately want to keep hidden.

Among the lies we’ve become inured to is that women can perform every
job a man can, including those of combat infantryman and special
operators. We’ve also been told the lie that the injection of women into
combat arms has no effect on the warrior culture. The liberals insist
that the culture isn’t of any value to combat effectiveness regardless
of what the warriors themselves say.

And we have relied on the
promises made by all of the military leaders, including the Marines,
that they’d never diminish the physical standards that any prospective
warrior had to meet simply to allow women into combat arms.

That
virtually all women can’t meet the standards to do these jobs is so
well-established a fact that only the liberal idiots who control Obama’s
Pentagon could deny it. Twelve

… There are so many lies coming out of the White House that we
have become numb to them. But to concede that is to concede the debate.
That is what is happening now across our political spectrum.

… There are many certainties, many facts that have to be defended. And
there used to be American institutions that could be relied on to defend
those truths at all costs. How far has America fallen that the Marine
Corps is breaking promises and implementing lies?

Too far. No nation can long survive if it bases its continuation on lies.
